RECRUITING

Evaluating a Lifestyle Intervention to Prevent Recurrence of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

People with diabetes often experience foot ulcers, which can harm their ability to move, lower their quality of life, and increase the chances of losing a limb. These diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) commonly come back (recur) even after they've healed, so it's crucial to stop them from returning to avoid toe, foot , or leg amputation. While wearing special shoes to reduce pressure on the feet is essential for healing and preventing DFUs, many people struggle to follow this treatment plan once their ulcers have healed. This study aims to see if a lifestyle-focused program can help participants create daily routines and habits that make it easier to consistently use special shoes and take care of their diabetes and feet to prevent ulcers from recurring.
